Abstract :
The reproductive status of the pearl mussel,
Lamellidens marginalis was studied for a one year period
by seasonal (monsoon, winter and summer) observation
of gonadal changes through the histological study. The
gonad development, spawning and fertilization which
dependable on climatic factors and the richness of food
supply. The gametogenic activity begins in males and
females during December and January in winter also
maturation phases and breeding simultaneously in both
sexes were observed during summer and early monsoon
seasons.
Keywords :
Male gonad, Female gonad, Lamellidens marginalis, gametogenesis, reproductive status.
